Samsung is reportedly selling off shares it holds in other tech companies to help pay for the massive recall involving its Galaxy Note 7 smartphone.
This is obviously very troubling.
The user told The Associated Press that the Galaxy Note 7 was bought 1st September through the JD.com e-commerce site. In response to recently reported cases of the new Galaxy Note 7, we conducted a thorough investigation and found a battery cell issue.
American authorities have found no evidence that Samsung Electronics Co.’s Galaxy Note 7 caused a fire that engulfed a vehicle in flames in St. Petersburg, Florida on September 5.
All we have to do is to go to Samsung’s official recall page (http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000170).
Also, it was explicitly announced before taking off the flights that something on the lines of passengers using a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 should power off their devices and not charge it during the entire duration of the flight.
Samsung has suspended sales of the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone since battery explosions were reported in early September, and allowed a replacement offer for holders of the device. After a few days, the company requested them to immediately turn off the phones.
The company logo is displayed at the Samsung news conference at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, January 7, 2013.
Samsung has even issued a software update to all pre-ordered Note 7 devices in Europe that limits the battery charge to 60%, in an effort to reduce the risk of incidents.
